The Word Was Made Flesh is a commentary on the Gospel of John written by Marcel Gervais who is the retired Archbishop of the diocese of Ottawa, Canada. He is the author of the JOURNEY bible study program published in 1978 and which sold thousands of copies throughout the world. It was translated in at least 12 languages. The power of this commentary is that it is written at a level which can be read and understood by most lay persons. It avoids much of the technical jargon that is common to most commentaries which are generally written for scripture scholars.
